    WWF Speaks About Death Of 9-Year-Old

    The World Wrestling Federation has spoken out about the death of a Wilkes County child.

    Derek Garland died last Tuesday after being injured while wrestling with a 16-year-old.

    Garland's mother said that the boys were imitating moves they had seen on television.

    The WWF issued a statement concerning the death of the boy. A spokesperson said that there should not be any rush to judge the situation, and that wrestling may not be to blame.

    Autopsy results show that the 9-year-old died of trauma to the head and neck.

    Investigators are waiting for more medical tests to see if the child's body are consistent with the teen's story.

    No charges have been filed.
